Pressure - Lauren Cimorelli

Think I’m addicted to these highs

This blue light, it hurts my eyes

But it’s the only way to feel alright

Think I’m addicted to the stress

I guess it makes me feel alive

But it’s killing me from the inside

The only thing that I see

Is everyone that’s doing better than me

I try not to take it personally

I keep trying to breathe

Trying to function normally

But it’s not so easy

There’s so much pressure

Put it all on myself

I’ll never measure up

Nothing is ever enough

There’s so much pressure

I’ve been killing myself

Trying to measure up

Nothing will ever be enough

Think I’m addicted to this guy

He doesn’t care what’s on my mind

But he’s the only thing in sight, yeah

There’s so much clothing on my floor

But I’ll just shut the closet door

And pretend that I’m not scared anymore

All this technology there’s still so much anxiety

Can’t wish it away

Even if you say you’re okay

And it’s supposed to be fun

They say just do what you love

Don’t give up, like it’s all so easy

There’s so much pressure

Put it all on myself

I’ll never measure up

Nothing is ever enough

There’s so much pressure

I’ve been killing myself

Trying to measure up

Nothing will ever be enough

It’s getting harder, I’m getting closer

Now, it’s just a matter of time

This is deep down, can feel it break now

I’m losing the rest of my mind

I’ve been bending, soon I’ll be breaking

I know something’s got to change

I can’t escape this, so freaking anxious

There’s only so much I can take, yeah

There’s so much pressure

Put it all on myself

I’ll never measure up

Nothing is ever enough

There’s so much pressure

I’ve been killing myself

Trying to measure up

Nothing will ever be enough
